$IWM Correction: That was "ahead of Jobs numbers" out at 8:30 am Weds.
Friday is CPI. See the estimates @Econoday via the links...
The schedule was messed up by the govt. shutdown.
Jobs Estimates: https://us.econoday.com/byevent?fid=667018&year=2026&lid=0#top
CPI Estimates: https://us.econoday.com/byevent?fid=666986&year=2026&lid=0#top
The estimates have fallen to 2.5% for both CPI Headline and CPI Core, with priors at 2.7% and 2.6%, respectively. Small caps like low rates for greater access to capital.
Interest rate sensitive sectors like the
$HD and
$NVR I have positions in should also respond positively.
$XLRE is also a beneficiary and is breaking out today.
$XLU is as well...
